3    The airline lost our luggage.
4    Then we missed the ferry.
5    Most of the hotels and restaurants...
6    were closed for the winter.
7    The ones that were open...
8    were so expensive...
9    that we almost ran out of money.
10    It was too cold to go swimming.
11    Fran was feeling homesick.
12    In the end...
13    we came home a week early.
